Can H4 visa win contest prizes as passive income?

[pikaroui]

with an H4 visa, can I win contest prizes such as photography or fine art contests, considering that they are passive incomes?
and is there a limitation on how much I am allowed to win per year? say 1000$ per year? This specific question is related to whether I can legally file this passive income for taxes?

You should seek financial advice from a CPA or tax attorney, YOUR tax attorney or YOUR CPA.

Strangers have been KNOWN to lie.

Besides, tax questions are very, very specific, and you need advice specific to YOUR life.

You can also inquire of the US IMMIGRATION AUTHORITIES, in Homeland Security.

The best advice you can get, is when in doubt, just don't do anything.
